ninevirtuesis long hours spent late at night in deserted labs, crunching numbers, conducting research. Well, after nearly a year of classes, I have now had that experience.
For the record, when you do the balloon blow abdominal exercise, it does activate your external obliques. Furthermore, it does so in a sustained, long duration, low load contraction, much like what's required for postural stability. (The EMG data shows it very clearly.) We collected the data over the weekend, crunched it last night, and must rewrite our intro and methods, then produce clear and readable graphs and charts to present results, and write a discussion and conclusion.
Then we arrange all that information decoratively and clearly on a poster, and present the poster tomorrow afternoon.
